Ekiti decides 2018: Why exercise was 90 percent successful – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said the governorship election in the state was 90 percent successful.

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Prof. Abdulganih Olayinka said this while assessing the electoral process.

Addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, Olayinka said reports from the eight INEC Commissioners in the field indicated that the election was largely peaceful across the state.

He noted that all INEC personnel, including ad hoc staff, got to their various polling units in good time and the election started early and uniformly.

“Except for Agboyin Local Government Area where it was alleged that ballot materials were scattered on the ground and in one or two places where the card reader malfunctioned, all was well,” he said.

Noting that identified problems in the electoral process had been addressed, Olayinka said no “incident form” was used in the exercise.
